Anti-CD55 Anticorps [Bu14] (A279876)

Anti-CD55 Antibody [Bu14]

Mouse monoclonal [Bu14] antibody to CD55.

This antibody recognises human CD55, also known as Decay Accelerating Factor (DAF). CD55 is a glycosylphosphatylinositol (GPI) anchored type I surface protein which prevents complement mediated lysis of autologous cells. CD55 functions to limit the formation and accelerate the decay of C3/C5-convertases from the classic and alternative pathway.The molecular weight of CD55 varies between ~50 and 100 kDa dependent on cell type. Alternative transcripts can lead to soluble DAF, which is detectable in plasma, tears, saliva, urine and cerebrospinal fluid. CD55 acts as a ligand for CD97 and is an entry receptor for Echovirus and Coxsackie B virus. CD55 has been linked to many diseases including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis and cancer development.
